Just wanted to give a “good Luck” to the mods and forum gurus in the coming days after the new 12.3 release. May you have limber fingers and nimble brains to serve you with the inevitable onslaught of questions to come. Good Luck and thanks for all you do guru.
I’ve noticed that the forum becomes relatively quiet a few days before the release, and then very busy for a while after the release.
Thanks for the wellwishing. We may need it.
But as long as people stick to asking technical questions and give technical answers and do not disgrace themselves in posting rants, we are happy to help you.
Appreciated. Thank you very much.

Hi
Thanks for your thoughts… 12.3 is a nice release 
I’m busy backing up my main notebook to install on there, just have it on a test machine at present.
I think you must be remembering a time before 12.2 which wasn’t as busy (except for Grub2 issues maybe), compared to earlier times with newer KDE4, PulseAudio, and some graphics drivers, to name few.
Haven’t noticed this, IME there’s a wave the months after release. Maybe the forums login issues played a role.

Yep, that’s a fairly consistent trend with each release. It ramps up
over 2-3 weeks after release, hits a peak, and then starts to trail off.

Yes, there was a wave as usual, but it wasn’t a big wave and 12.2 seemed to be one of the best releases, and wasn’t its release delayed to make it so. I remember users commenting that it was worth the wait. The main desktops were fine, KDE good, Gnome improved, but they caused bigger issues in the past along with multimedia problems (and that seems simpler on 12.3 so far).
Of course events could change things such as W8 refugees, or Gnome 3 migrants looking for freedom on a very good KDE distro.
Bring it on, we will soon see as there’s not long to go.
Very “Best of luck” for those who are moving to 12.3 too. Remeber to backup your data. I am going to startup transmission tonight and download the live iso Hopefully, by end of this week i will be on 12.3
